Why does my payslip differ slightly from this estimate?
Employers treat non-taxable allowances (meals, car upkeep, childcare) differently, and income tax depends on the withholding table bracket and the 80/100/120% withholding option you choose. Health insurance is re-settled every April against last year's pay. This calculator reproduces the official withholding formula, so income tax may differ from the table by a few thousand won a month; the difference is settled at year-end tax settlement.
